Bitcoin Forum

Hi I'm happy to introduce myself I'm shann from the philippines and

I'm just new here and thank you to the person who gave me an idea about this but it's not enough, so I'm asking for your different ideas and that way I can understand more and the extensive knowledge about bitcoins because I used to think bitcoin was a scam and not true.

Because of his teachings and he is already making money because of bitcoin and I saw that he was happy with it I was amazed and my curiosity grew so I am here now.

I'm not good and especially I don't know everything here but I'll do my best and I'm sure I'm ready to learn and follow the policies here.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!!

Welcome abroad!

Since you are brand-new, I suggest you start by reading the forum rules (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0). That will teach you about what you can't do on this forum. Breaking the rules can result in getting permanently banned and/or having your posts deleted.
After that, it's not a bad idea to check out Lauda's Newbies - Read before posting thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0).

Each sub-board (in this case Beginners & Help) has a few sticky threads. You will find them at the top. You can also recognize them by the pin icons on the right. Check them out for additional information about that specific board.

Start by telling us what you expect to gain from registering on this forum. Feel free to browse around and find topics that interest you. Pay attention to the description on the homepage under every sub-board. That will give you some ideas of what kind of discussions you can expect to find there.

The Beginners & Help Encyclopedia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0) is a great collection that you should definitely take a look at.

You are not expected to know everything, that is the reason there are so much information available to you with which you can read and learn, some of them are linked in the reply above.

It may also be important to note that the forum is very privacy focused. You might not want to share personal information about name, or country of origin, as that may be an information that you may not want to be out there later on.

All your aspirations won't come true if you don't last long here would it?
In that regard, my first advice to you would be that, you pay great attention to my quote from Pmalek because, it gets so real here and you've got zero chance to retrace your steps and make it right. Never plagiarise and do your best to give learning a chance while, you contribute useful information to the various discussions on the forum.

I welcome you to the forum and hope you take all that is done here with much seriousness.

Good for you, the bitcoin scam has already been talked about since was born, we and all know that is not true. you don't need to ask for a new idea, just share your experience and people here will share also the knowledge that you looking for. I hope you will come as the title novice maybe a level higher than a beginner?.

Have a nice day,
yes you are right so as I said in my post I will do my best and I am ready to learn and I will follow the policies here, in fact I am starting to read the forum rules,
Thank you very much and for your advice.

just so you know if you want to ask a fellow kababayan questions you can post it on our local board(Pilipinas (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=219.0)) though there's not much traffic going on on our board these days members would still answer you if you have any questions. Welcome to the forum! and good luck on your journey here

Actually this thread is not really needed, you can scroll down a bit and see the similar threads created by others and gather knowledge from it so learn to use search function from that you can learn more and if you still can't find then start your own thread snd get the answer for your query.

Engage into discussion more, and try to be more active as much ss you can.

Okay thank you for your advice.

Welcome to the forum, as other people had already said, please read the rules.

Also, allow me to say that copy/pasting articles or information in general here without providing the source it is considered to be a serious offense, avoid to get permabanned.

Have a good day.

Good to know that you are also in our country welcome aboard.

Im assume that he told you that his earning here through bounty. Better to stick around on local section to easier grasp what should you do here first. But as a beginner, you shouldnt not focus on earning here yet. That will come if you are good enough to be a member of this community.

For some reason, I should needed to advise you to focus more on contributing and reading here. Be a better member, engage on some topic and sooner or later when you are recognized here. Maybe a chance for you to join some monetized campaign here.

Congrats to been here, i hope the person that recommend you have given you the necessary clue about the community. Bitcointalk forum is actually meant for communication concerning Bitcoin and discussion of projects who can support the betterment of the forum, you can start here by observing and reading the methods of our conversations to unable you to understand the cranium of the community, ensure that you read before posting, the instructions pinned in almost all the board's, and try to read and understand the basic protocols of the community and i believe you have gotten links to read up things that are foreign to you.Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0). That topic gives helpful advice before you make posts or create topics.
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)

Welcome, try and check the links you are provided, read it and understand it. Follow the forum rules, do not spam, do not plagiarise, do not do anything that can get you banned by not obeying the forum rules. From the link you have been provided with, you can be able to know about merit and what is necessary to attian a higher rank. Keep reading about bitcoin and make yourself active so that you can learn more from people on this forum.

Andreas is always a great source for Bitcoin-related videos because he explains technical stuff in a simple way for everyone to understand.

When we are on the subject of suggesting Youtube materials, there are also two channels that I like to suggest to newbies for basics about Bitcoin, but also plenty of info on altcoin projects (if they are into that of course).

99Bitcoins (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQQ_fGcMDxlKre3SEqEWrLA)
Coin Bureau (https://www.youtube.com/c/CoinBureau)

Try to chat in your local section, where you can better understand all the directions of the forum. It will probably be difficult for you to take on everything, so do not give up and follow it gradually. Your current enthusiasm is familiar to many beginners, but not everyone has become worthy of success. Feel free to ask about things you're interested in, but also try learning how to use the forum search.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276341.0

Knowing how to look for answers to your questions, you will join the life of the forum much faster, gaining a reputation as a reading person, and not someone who is not able to find something on his own.

While I'm not saying that CoinBureau is a bad dude, this is a huge no for me. Recommending such channels right off the bat is very likely to push newbies into dabbling into altcoins very early on; even if they still don't have a decent grasp on Bitcoin.

Welcome to the best bitcoin discussion forum and this is member to member conversation and warm welcome of newbie to this forum not any staff formalities ;D and you friend have directed you to the right place.As you have posted on B&H section of the forum i would also let you know there are different local boards also where you can have discussion in your local language with your people but as a community we all are one.

Here it is for you : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=219.0

To increase your knowledge there are extensive resources on which you can try your hands on and gain knowledge about bitcoin like all technical and non technical details and other stuff which will be helpful to you.But for making it easy for you i will let you with some forum links about the same and here it is :

5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156874.0)

Some Books we need to read (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350541.msg57516728#msg57516728)

 Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Electrum Board] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0)

And rest you can check out the best resource for bitcoin which is Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos which is heaven for the bitcoin lovers and they gain overall knowledge about bitcoin from scratch and beleive me you would have sufficient knowledge about the same after reading this masterpiece by Andreas.

Link for github : https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

See the thing is you can make money with bitcoin through lot of ways but you need to have sufficient knowledge about it and it will come with time so give yourself that learning booster so you are eligible to earn.Be safe from crypto scams that will promote to make you rich and scam you of existing funds also as there are many in this market and rush to earn could easily make you fall in their hands.

Some here are from long time and don't know about the forum in detail so you didn't need to worry about that and you will come to know about them slowly when you spend time on forum.The best is learning across and having good and healthy discussion as much you can and then automatically you will see the results.Just follow the forum rules and abide by them.

Undoubtedly Andreas is the true bitcoin supporter and have given his full in educating the masses about Bitcoin from early age and have seen videos when he was telling about the usage and investment and in it and only few people care to attend his lecture but now see the whole world has come to realistic point where btc is the true financial freedom with security.

The coin Bureau is also one of my favourite while i watch some YouTube videos about btc and crypto market rest all others are mostly crap and shilling fake knowledge about their coins so best is to watch them only and enhance your knowledge.

If you are willing to learn, kindly refer to Ratimov guide

Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Electrum Board]   (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.msg58120908#msg58120908)
If you are searching for books, check the library >>here<< (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0#post_point108), the books are very helpful and trust me, if you are willing to learn about the anatomy of Bitcoin, you will enjoy your bitcoin journey.

About making money, you will have to equally learn about that, but your money will be involve which is more like buying bitcoin and trading as well.

That should of course not happen. Still, I think it's important to learn how altcoins work to appreciate the advantages that Bitcoin offers. One way to understand if A is better than B is to compare them and make your own conclusions. If you read or listen about a project that has a closed-source network with a governing body or board of directors that approve or introduce all changes and features, you will see that it can be done in a different way. If you learn that a coin was pre-mined or that the addresses making the majority of transactions belong to the developers, you will see that that doesn't happen with Bitcoin. If you learn that a network has smart-contract capabilities but you need to convince a small centralized group of owners to make a change because it's in their best interest, you'll understand that Bitcoin's owner never thought that way. Etc., etc.       

The CoinBureau dude gives altcoins too much attention but he also has Bitcoin-related content among those hundreds of videos he has created. And I have seen him criticize coins and their teams for lack of transparency, unverifiable claims, and other things.

Oh boy, we almost have the same thoughts when we're starting to "know" what Bitcoin is, but for me it was all about illegal coin being used only by people in the dark web. Guess that's going to be a long regret for me to had never bought my first coin.
Anyways welcome aboard OP!
Aside from what was mentioned about rules and stuff, what sort of knowledge in Bitcoin do you want to learn though?
Trading? We got trading discussion board.
Technical stuffs? We got Development & Technical Discussion and Technical Support.
Mining? There's a dedicated board for that.
Just general stuffs about Bitcoin? There's Bitcoin Discussion for that.
I suggest you take a good read around these boards first before posting anything.

Hello, Op welcome to the bitcointalk.org forum
And speaking where you came from I am also from the Philippines and I think we are a few miles away from our home. Since they are already given you the links that you need to study/gathered more knowledge about bitcoins here in our forum. One thing that I suggest is that you must familiarize the forum rules to prevent mistakes. Especially the mortal sins here in the forum which is plagiarizing other work to create a topic you should avoid that Thing.

Good luck with your journey I do hope that you will not be the same to other members here that after creating an account and making a few posts/replies then leave the forum.

He is running YouTube channel and he makes videos on most of the coins in the market and altcoins as well but you could see his insta account is mostly familiarise with bitcoin related memes in which he shows his direct support to the bitcoin over fiat and altcoins.I have watched his trading guides also and he gives really good advice but still we need to have our mind opens and DYOR is main factor that can't be ignored at all.

Like he has 1.91M subs on YouTube and over 600 videos and they cover almost every topic like DeFi, crypto trading,altcoins, exchange, taxation,NFT and other crypto related stuff but that's fine until he is giving out full information and disclosure of every fact to the general audience who doesn't have any idea about the the topic he is making the video.He has been recommended on forum by some high rank members also and sometimes i watch his videos whenever i need some new information and then research about it later on.

And with his 131k followers on insta he is casually roaming around putting forward some memes and few informative posts also but you can see btc related stuff more like it's the best thing.So he is one of the right youtubers we have out there who is not promoting any shitcoin till the time period.

Why you are here is it because your friend is making money out of bitcoin or do you just want to grab the necessary information about crypto. You gat to define your purpose for joining us in this forum. There is so much knowledge stuff in for you here, if only you will be eager to learn and post meaningfully.
The forum is open for everyone, you can even tell your friends to join because there's so much knowledge about crypto to be grabbed from this forum

Yes, you are right that mate reading is the best tool we use to build our knowledge here in our community, as we know that all the materials to build are already here, the only thing we do is that searching all the useful threads/topics and study what it is all about and then for sure day by day doing this after few months you will shock and say  I am one of those users who know crypto.

Perhaps we do reading and to understand what has been written. Many people were able to read but unfortunately, they don't understand, they still fall into the wrong direction and convictions.
That is why we need to encourage newbies not to stop learning as this is the only way to enlighten their market views about the crypto and never get easily affected by the news outside but rather to stick to what they have learned. For as long as we are doing the right things and abide by the rules, that is certainly fine.

So you are ex "bitcoin is scam" guy but still welcome to forum and yeah dude read rules, things are a bit strict here which i can understand as this forum is very important one. But yeah I would say that you watch some YouTube videos to get basics and do go through forum and then ask any question you have.

All materials are complete here, then it depends on the OP whether you want to learn or not. Forum users are quite friendly to users who join here, especially for beginners whose knowledge of forums is still very limited. The reference I attached above am quite useful for Op and for all forum users.

They are not clueless but rather reckless and greedy. Just look at the victims of fraud, almost all users who are new to cryptocurrencies fall into the wrong direction and belief. I don't know what's on their minds so they forget everything they already know.

There's no crime in that being the driving force that brought you here. After all, something has to motivate a man to action. However, don't let it give you sleepless nights so it doesn't drive you into palaver.

We all learn on the daily. Even those we think are more knowledgeable than us also keep learning. Your lack of what to do now shouldn't be a handicap to you. All you've to consistently do is seek knowledge by searching through this forum and asking questions where confused. Be active and keep to rules, you will be fine.

.Yes you are right that mate and it's up to Op if she is willing to learn about crypto currencies and share what she know about crypto or still in his position as a newbie without any knowledge. We are all newbie once and curiosity and dedication will bring us to victory reading is all the best way to reach our goals and achieve what we deserve. All the materials are there all we need is to use it in a good way.

In advance welcome to you, hopefully, what you want here can be achieved in the future. Before entering further into the crypto world, it is better if you understand and also learn well the crypto world so that you are ready to accept the risks that are here because not only the benefits that can be obtained here but you can also get the risks. Not meant to scare you but what you do in the future will have an impact on the assets that you have so been more careful. Skills and also knowledge must be honed continuously so that we can also follow the flow of the crypto market and not panic when the crypto market is chaotic.

Congratulations and welcome OP.
This place is so wide and it contains many kind of things and different types and kinds of people

Visit the thread of Ratimov which is provided by Pmalek. You can read different topics in there depending on what you wanted to learn.
